They're coming. In Minneapolis, a group has formed with that very intent. Most people aren't aware that coffee vapor contains pyridine, which is a known carcinogen. In addition, it has been shown that coffee workers are prone to various maladys from exposure to coffee dust (produced when grinding the beans), and vapor. These include cancer, dermatitis, sterility, rhinitis, and Coffee Worker's Lung which is also known as Allergic Alveolitis. Alveolitis is a severe inflammation of the lung which obstructs breathing.
